imported_Elphaba Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Here is a YouTube of Dame Kiri Te Tanawa singing O Mio Babbino Caro. These are absolutely my favorite notes in the opera world, and they just happen to combine into a very famous Italian Aria. It's from Puccinni's Gianni Schicchi , and it is pure magic. If you've ever seen "A Room with a View," you'll know what I'm talking about. (I can't stand it that I'll never get to be Lucy Honeychurch! Hmph!)Anyway, you may remember Kiri Te Tanawa from Princess Diana's wedding to that big-eared doofus in 1981. She sang at their ill-fated wedding. O Mio Babbino Caro. Enjoy.Elphaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moksha Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Here is another version sung by Hayley Westenra. Both Hayley and Sissel Kyrkjeboe have such pretty voices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmonboy Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I have a Sarah Brightman station on my Pandora internet radio, and they frequently play both Hayley Westenra and Sissel. Oh. My. Goodness. I hope the heavenly choir sounds that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmonboy Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Which reminds me--when did Hayley join Celtic Woman? Makes me glad to be Irish, I'll tell ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moksha Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Ooops! I posted to my own thread! This was meant for Moksha!I sometimes reply to my own posts for self-validation. Besides, I am already on my own wavelength. Elf, you have good taste in music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Beron Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I had a student from Sicily who would sing that song for the class. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
